Bootstrap Grid - Large Devices
Bootstrap Grid Example: Large Devices
| Extra small | Small | Medium | Large | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Class prefix | .col-xs | 
    .col-sm | 
    .col-md | 
    .col-lg | 
  
| Screen width | <768px | >=768px | >=992px | >=1200px | 
In the previous chapter, we presented a grid example with classes for small and medium devices. We used two divs (columns) and we gave them a 25%/75% split on small devices, and a 50%/50% split on medium devices:
<div class="col-sm-3 col-md-6">....</div>
<div class="col-sm-9 col-md-6">....</div>
But on large devices the design may be better as a 33%/66% split.
Tip: Large devices are defined as having a screen width from 1200 pixels and above.
For large devices we will use the .col-lg-* classes.
So now we will add the column widths for large devices:
 <div class="col-sm-3 col-md-6 col-lg-4">....</div>
<div class="col-sm-9 col-md-6 col-lg-8">....</div>
Now Bootstrap is going to say "at the small size, look at classes with -sm- in them and use those. At the medium size, look at classes with -md- in them and use those. At the large size, look at classes with the word -lg- in them and use those".
The following example will result in a 25%/75% split on small devices, a 50%/50% split on medium devices, and a 33%/66% split on large devices:
Example
 <div class="container-fluid">
  <h1>Hello World!</h1>
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-sm-3 col-md-6 col-lg-4" style="background-color:yellow;">
      <p>Lorem ipsum...</p>
    </div>
    <div class="col-sm-9 col-md-6 col-lg-8" style="background-color:pink;">
      <p>Sed ut perspiciatis...</p>
    </div>
  </div>
 </div>

Note: Make sure that the sum always adds up to 12.
Using Only Large
In the example below, we only specify the .col-lg-6 class (without .col-md-* and/or .col-sm-*). This means that large devices will split 50%/50%. However, 
for medium AND small devices, it will stack vertically (100% width):
Example
 <div class="container-fluid">
  <h1>Hello World!</h1>
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-lg-6" style="background-color:yellow;">
      <p>Lorem ipsum...</p>
    </div>
    <div class="col-lg-6" style="background-color:pink;">
      <p>Sed ut perspiciatis...</p>
    </div>
  </div>
 </div>
